The coastal town of Negombo is abuzz with beach and holiday vibes. Situated by the roadside, the stylish T-Lounge by Dilmah by the Beach is true to its theme of ‘Tea by the Sea’. The elegant and pleasant nature of the lounge instantly puts you at ease and the experience that follows is quite different to anything you would enjoy at a cafe. Soothing jazz music along with the aromas of tea sets the mood for a time of rejuvenation. The timber-inspired yet colourful decor creates a pleasant setting ideal for unwinding.

The T-Lounge is a celebration of the long legacy of the Ceylon Tea industry in Sri Lanka, while it also strives to take these distinctive flavours into the future. Therefore the tea menu is an extensive one. Customers will be served classic Ceylon Tea varieties spanning all seven tea growing regions, the iconic Chinese teas and refreshing tea mocktails. One has the choice of sipping on a cuppa of Ceylon Silver Tips, the Original Earl Grey, or a tea infused mocktail. After a stroll on the sunny streets of Negombo, the Iced Teas make for the perfect refreshing fix.

Sandwiches as well as both savoury and sweet crêpes and waffles are part of their snacks menu. Their waffles are fluffy, thick and satisfying with generous amounts of filling and toppings, while the sandwiches come with a hearty stuffing and customers can request for toasted bread or otherwise, white or brown.

The milky t-Kitsch is a take on the local favourite ‘Yarra Thei’ (pulled tea). In the evening, it is delightful with a spicy snack. Their delicious range of desserts include tea-infused ice creams, cheese cakes, cute cupcakes and macaroons.

A unique aspect of the lounge is the teapairingsuggestions.TheBlueberry and Pomegranate Iced Tea, which is a romantic burst of flavour with the right balance of tea and fruitiness, could be perfectly paired with Maple Syrup and Ice Cream Waffles. For a more stylish tea affair, opt for the tea inspired menu curated by celebrity chef Peter Kuruwita. T-Lounge by Dilmah by the Beach is a great place to unwind, meet with loved ones and relish tea.
